THE FEARLESS HOMEBUYER — March 2026 Newsletter
Education. Confidence. Results.
Founder’s Corner
Spring is a season of preparation and progress. If you’re planning to buy in 2026, this is the moment to build your advantage: tighten credit strategy, understand programs, and get your documents ready so you can move fast when the right home shows up.
You don’t need to know everything — you need a clear plan.
Let’s move forward, fearlessly.
Market Snapshot: Rates & What It Means
Freddie Mac (PMMS) – As of Feb 12, 2026
30-Year Fixed: 6.09%
15-Year Fixed: 5.44%
MBA Weekly Survey – FHA (week ending Feb 6, 2026)
30-Year FHA: 6.01%
Fearless takeaway: Rates are only one piece. Your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, down payment, and loan type often matter just as much.
Program Spotlight: “You Don’t Need 20% Down”
Many buyers qualify for low down payment paths. Examples to ask about:
FHA (often 3.5% down)
Conventional 3% down options (income limits may apply)
VA (0% down for eligible veterans)
Local/State Down Payment Assistance (varies by location)
Credit Corner (March Focus)
This month’s power move: Keep revolving utilization under 30% (under 10% is even stronger).
Myth vs Fact
Myth: Checking my credit score hurts my score.
Fact: Most personal score checks are soft pulls and don’t impact your score.
